Extend closing long enough to ensure the tenants are removed and the Seller has time to clean the place up. 

She is two weeks out from appraisal(we already extended deadline once) and after walking through there is a decent amount of work remaining.

Auction dates are often extended.

Level 5 (and others, probably) make skimming blades up to 48" wide now, so going from a rough wall to a smooth wall isn't as difficult as it used to be.Skimming should also be cheaper than adding 1/4" drywall because it won't require buying custom sized door jambs (to accommodate the thicker walls), using box extenders for electrical, removing and reinstalling base/crown molding, or any of the other issues you might run into by adding a layer of drywall.

Make sure you have business interruption coverage with extended period of indemnity. 

Perhaps if you are vacationing for an extended period of time, it could work.

But, extend the years to pay off the loan.

The initial underwriter response to me was:Addressing Gaps in EmploymentFor Borrowers with gaps in employment of six months or more (an extended absence), the Mortgagee may consider the Borrower’s current income as Effective Income if it can verify and document that:• the Borrower has been employed in the current job for at least six months at the time of case number assignment; and• a two-year work history prior to the absence from employment using standard or alternative employment verification.From what I understand both borrowers are now at 6 months on the job full time, with this being the case and assuming you can document a 2 year work history before the absence this should be possible FHA it also wouldn’t hurt to have an LOE for the gap.I'd be happy to talk with you about the gap and see if there is a good way to frame your application to best fit guidelines.

-what happens if the project extends the projected time frame? 

Sellers will not let us extend our contract past the 31st of December (less than 2 weeks away) because they have other buyers ready to purchase it. without going into detail (please message privately for details), where can we find someone to fund the land part by end of this month?
